We are finally at the end of my blog series on cleaning in 30 minutes or less. What better way to wrap it up than talking about the weekend. I don’t know about you, but I like to keep my weekends as free as possible. That means I don’t want to spend hours cleaning. I would rather enjoy activities or just a day of relaxing. Despite working full-time during the week, because of my routine, I am still able to tackle important areas of my home and leave my weekends relatively free of chores. That is always my number one … Continue reading →

It’s the last day of the week in this blog series. How will you end your week when it comes to cleaning? For me, I can do it in 30 minutes or less. The fact that my entire work week has been like this, makes my life so much easier. Not to sound like a broken record but once again, my cleaning routine includes breaking out the Lysol wipes and doing a quick wipe down in the kitchen and bathroom, which takes about 5 minutes. Then I focus the remaining time on dusting and mopping. I can complete dusting in … Continue reading →

So in today’s blog I am going to be talking about how I clean in 30 minutes or less on Thursdays. As a reminder, this blog series is less about which chores you should do on which days, but on finding a routine that works best for you. Everyone’s needs as far as housekeeping and how often certain chores are done will be different. It will depend on how big your house is, pets you own, the number of children you have and what age group they are in and so on. Once again, I will remind you that I … Continue reading →

Today’s blog moves onto cleaning in 30 minutes or less on Wednesdays. By now I hope you understand that I am not trying to tell you what to clean and when. Instead, I want you to see how by spreading things out and picking the best days to do these chores, you are making it easier and quicker to clean. On Wednesdays I only do my quick wipe down in the kitchen because this is the day that I focus on deep cleaning my bathroom. Since it takes just a couple of minutes to do my kitchen routine, it leaves … Continue reading →

In my last blog, I continued with my series on how I clean my house in 30 minutes or less each day. I mentioned that there were two types of cleaning I do Monday through Sunday, a quick wipe down in the kitchen and bathroom. So on Tuesdays I do my usual kitchen and bathroom routine. Other than that, this is a fairly light day of housework. I have made Tuesdays light because not only do I have work to complete but I am out of the house for part of the day. I sweep the stairs going down to … Continue reading →

Today’s blog is going to address how I clean in 30 minutes or less on Mondays. By keeping a consistent schedule, my house is ready for guests at the drop of a hat most of the time. I start off each morning with a cup of coffee. That is my fuel to get me started. I begin my cleaning routine within minutes of waking up. Why? I have a couple of reasons for this. The first is that I want to get the cleaning out of the way, so I can move on to bigger and better things. The second … Continue reading →

Did you know that in less than 30 minutes a day you can clean your house? I’m not talking about a deep cleaning. I’m talking about a surface cleaning and then time spent focusing on one room or task. Let me give you an example of how I do this. Let’s take Mondays. On Mondays I concentrate my effort into cleaning the kitchen. But I also make a sweep through our other main rooms to get them in order. It really does take me less than 30 minutes. I start by sweeping the kitchen floor (1 minute) and then I … Continue reading →

I have heard a lot of women who work outside the home say they don’t have time for housekeeping. In fact, just because I work at home, I have friends say it’s no wonder I can keep up with the house. I try not to take offense to that because the reality is that even though I work inside my home, I still work full-time hours. So it’s not like I really get all these extra hours that others don’t. To me, it’s really about prioritizing and keeping a schedule. I have always kept a maintained home (notice I am … Continue reading →
